Since taking effect in 2022, the bipartisan No Surprises Act has protected patients from more than 10 million surprise medical bills that could have amounted to hundreds, thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars. The law passed with broad bipartisan support in Congress and was an important step in protecting patients from unfair bills and unexpected health costs. The law is overwhelmingly popular -- nearly 90 percent of voters oppose efforts to weaken the law.

But the law’s patient protections are under threat. Special interests are working to roll back the No Surprises Act through lobbying and legal challenges designed to undermine it. If special interests succeed, they will weaken critical protections for patients and put us all at risk for even higher health care costs.

This summer, your elected representatives will hear from interests trying to weaken the No Surprises Act and roll back protections from overwhelming medical bills. They need to hear from you about the law’s protections for patients! The resources on this page will give you the tools to talk with your elected officials about how the No Surprises Act protects patients from unexpected medical bills.

Too many patients already receive medical bills they can’t afford. Rolling back the the No Surprises Act would make that problem much worse. We can’t afford to go back to a time when surprise medical bills were a constant threat to the health and wellness of so many.  Congress and the White House need to stand up for patients and protect the bipartisan No Surprises Act.
